With these conferences they support the Association of Blood Donors of Gipuzkoa.
The Donor Association wanted to link the Star Wars force with young people, encouraging them to become donors.

The Donors Association also joined the Ambassadroid movement by participating in its first international membership meeting, which was attended by Albin Johnson, Honorary President of The Pink Force Foundation and founder of the 501st Legion, an international Star Wars fan association with over 14,000 members worldwide.
In recognition of the work of the Donors, they participated in the solidarity march and had preferential access to the photocall area.
